There are houses that simply sit on a street, and then there are homes that radiate something the moment you pull up, homes that feel cheerful, hopeful and unmistakably full of life. This quintessential 1950s yellow cottage is exactly that. With it's exterior painted the color of pure sunshine and it's charming architectural character preserved from a bygone era, this is the kind of place that stops you mid-drive. The curb appeal alone feels like a storybook moment: golden exterior glowing against a bright blue Southern sky, framed by one of the most beautiful cottage syle gardens you'll find anywhere in Auburn. It's the sort of scene that instantly lifts your spirit, the kind that makes you smile before you even step out of the car.
Set on a picture-perfect lot this home emodies everything people love about mid century cottages-character, simplicity, sould and a layout that just feels easy. Built in the 1950's, it carries that special kind of craftsmanship that's hard to replicate today. The floors throughout are beautiful pine giving it that extra layer of warmth and history, setting the tone for a home with really good bones. And while the interior is ready for someone to bring their touch and imagination, there is something endlessly charming about the way it sits now. It's a place with potential that doesn't feel overwheming, a home with structure, personality and heart already in place. The updates you make will only elevate what's already there. And then there's the yard, in the spring it could be straight from a magazine. Mature plantings, blooming color and layers of landscaping really enhance the entire property. One of the biggest surprises, and most valuable features is the garage apartment. Separate charming and incredibly useful. Ideal for guests, game day weekends, or a college student that wants their own space. Location is stellar.
Opportunities like this don't come up often in cottages, gives the property versatility that really sets it apart.
